Dams can cause several types of pollution, primarily through the alteration of water quality and ecosystem disruption. They can lead to nutrient loading, which promotes algal blooms, and the accumulation of harmful substances like heavy metals and pesticides in stagnant water. Additionally, the decomposition of organic material in reservoirs can produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas. The alteration of natural water flow can also impact sediment transport, affecting aquatic habitats and water quality downstream.

How do dams not cause pollution?
The dam itself causes no pollution but the submerged vegetation in the reservoir behind the dam can decompose creating methane, a potent greenhouse gas. To prevent this it would be necessary to remove all vegetation and organic rich soil from the area proposed for the reservoir down to a clay base (or install a non-organic base).
